OK you may be correct about being paid a commission so I'll give 'em a freebie this time.

I obviously don't know their availability but how about;

Hickey (Durham)
Parry (Lancs)
White (Northants)
Keogh (Northants)
Dawson (Hants)t
Souter (Middx)

Big Ron should be able to use his silver tongue to persuade one of these players to move. Plus a big cheque of course.

Well indeed

But you'd take a pretty good guess that our management would have a whole lot more knowledge about these players - and their current situations then you would

So glad we saved the money on your commission!

Seriously, how many do you think of that list would hack it in Division 1?

All of them... or I wouldn't have mentioned them.

So why haven't they made it in/been selected for/ transferred to a Div 1 team?

And why do you think it was insinuated at the members forum that it was difficult/nigh on impossible to find a home grown spinner that we could sign...?

Bless. You talk a good story!

[jimmy]

Why do clubs like Essex shrug their shoulders and assume that a lack of spin bowling is an inevitably in this country with nothing to be done to change things ? It happens because spin bowling is not encouraged in match play. If a county second eleven was packed full of spinners who bowled every over of the days play except one before lunch and tea no matter how ineffective they were you would have no seam bowlers. That is the situation we have with spinners, week in week out. No spinners is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hickey, completely unproven, was reportedly in talks last year.
Parry doesnt play 4 day cricket
White not pulling up any trees in division 2
Keogh a part timer who got lucky in the last few games on bunsens.
Dawson, below average spinner, can't imagine would be available and doesnt like Essex
Souter, no idea. Although doesnt seem to play as ive never heard of him so can't imagine hes that great...
